Description: This ride uses
(mostly) the back roads of Clinton, Killingworth, Chester, Haddam and Madison
to tour some of the prettiest areas that Connecticut cycling has to
offer. Automobile traffic is
typically very light so give it a spin.
There are a few hilly sections, though, so make sure that you're in
good shape before you ride it.
